00:00I took 250 crores in alimony.

00:03Oh, that you took 250 crores in alimony?

00:05Yeah, every morning I woke up like waiting for like income tax officials.

00:09I love the tune, I love the song, I love that it was a satire on the male gaze.

00:14I should be honest, I'm paying someone at Allmax.

00:32You are paying, you finally are.

00:33Yes, I have to accept.

00:45Was it a brave decision? You said it was brave to me.

00:48That's why I'm saying I think it's kind of sexy and cool and hot.

00:51That you go and do a song like Uh Antawawa, literally two weeks before Pushpa saw a theatrical release.

00:56And everyone who went up and said, oh my f***ing lord, is like, she's hot.

01:01Like you just nailed it, you killed it, you owned it.

01:04Was that a rebellious move? Was that a strategic move?

01:08Or was that something you just did because you felt like, f*** it, I'll do it.

01:12The third, f*** it, I'll do it.

01:14I mean, why not? Why not? I love the tune, I love the song, I love that it was a satire on the male gaze.

01:21I know I got a lot of criticism about…

01:23Who has criticized you? You were amazing.

01:26About pandering to the male gaze while making a satire on the male gaze.

01:30But my logic was, who else can satire the male gaze except a notch girl that I was playing in the song

01:38or an actor who has such a wide experience of, a wide range of the male gaze.

01:44I mean, only someone like a notch girl or me can satire the male gaze.

01:48So I found that, you know, as an actor you use your body to display a wide range of emotions.

01:55Whether in Raji it was physical combat and it was for a cause, this one was to make a statement.

02:01So I don't think the problem was really me getting into character, it was just the way that people…

02:05Perceived it.

02:06Perceived it.

02:07Yeah, well you were hot.

02:08Whether you were making a statement, whether you were showing the world the middle finger, it doesn't matter.

02:13You looked hot in that state.

02:15That has been archived for posterity and for always.

02:18What is the worst thing you've read about yourself?

02:20Should I start alphabetically?

02:23No, your favorite piece of troll.

02:25I took 250 crores in alimony.

02:28Oh, that you took 250 crores in alimony.

02:31Yeah, every morning I woke up waiting for income tax officials to come to show them.

02:36Ta-da, there's nothing.

02:37You mean they had made up their stories about the alimony?

02:40Absolutely.

02:41So first then they made up the story about the alimony, 250 crores.

02:44Then they realized, okay, doesn't seem like a believable story.

02:48Then they said, no, there's a prenup and so she can't ask for alimony.

02:52So there was like…

02:53Everybody was making their own stories.

02:55It was beautiful.

02:56Every interview I was asked, so how was it working with Nayantara?

02:58Like was there any friction?

03:00But it was amazing.

03:02Like I think on the last day of shoot we hugged each other and cried.

03:05You had such a good time.

03:06Yeah, we had a great time.

03:07Well, more power to you.

03:08So it was fantastic working with her.

03:11You would think that women would have this problem, but the women are all working together.

03:15It's like the men seem to have more of the issues than the women.
